ralph, why do you think 3.73's would be better for all around use over 3.55's??, i know 4.10's or 4.30's would be the ticket for drag racing,but i haven't think about 3.73's as a replacement for the stock 3.55's until know. i know anything over 4.10s would improve acceleration in the 1/4 mile, but traction would be become an issue with street tires, specially with the ones that i was thinking to install (4.30s), i also know, dr's would cure the traction problem, but i drive 120miles every day, so i can't not afford to replace dr's every 2 months, plus i need to be able to drive in the rain.
